Bible Reading: Genesis19:29-38
There is, in all likelihood, no
man in the Bible who represents so many men of today as does Lot. Where you
find one Abraham, you find thousands of Lots. Lot started out well walking with
Abraham, but he ended up so bad that he literally became a “bad lot.”
Lot, because of his
love for Sodom:
1.
Lost
his house (Genesis 19:1-3).
2.
Lost
his sons-in-law (Genesis 19:14).
3.
Lost
his wife (Genesis 19:26).
4.
Lot
lost all but his two daughters (Genesis 19:30).
The above are the results of
loving the world. You lose not only your possessions but your family.
There is an old saying that goes,
“Be careful who you follow for you’ll end up just like them.” So be careful not
to follow the world, or you will never be in tune with God.
Some years ago, musicians noted that errand boys in a certain part of London all whistled out of tune as they went about their work. It was talked about and someone suggested that it was because the bells of Westminster were slightly out of tune. Something had gone wrong with the chimes, and they were discordant. The boys did not know there was anything wrong with the peals; and quite unconsciously they had copied their pitch.
So we tend to copy the people with whom we associate; we borrow thoughts from the books we read and the programs to which we listen, almost without knowing it. God has given us His Word, which is the absolute pitch of life and living. If we learn to sing by it, we shall easily detect the false in all of the world.
